ExplainerSettlements

People in the United States who bought an iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max or any iPhone 16 model in the United States between June 10, 2024 and March 29, 2025, as the original purchaser and not for resale, may qualify. Claims are due December 21, 2026. Owning an eligible phone is only the start: the claim form also asks you to confirm what you expected when you bought it. The court has not yet given final approval.

• Claim deadline: December 21, 2026 (online, or postmarked by that day).
• Devices: iPhone 15 Pro, 15 Pro Max and every iPhone 16 model, bought June 10, 2024 to March 29, 2025.
• $25 per device to start, which can go up to at most $95 or go down.
• Final approval hearing: February 24, 2027; the settlement is not yet final.

The lawsuit was brought for buyers who say they bought certain iPhones expecting particular Siri Apple Intelligence features that they did not receive. The official website says: "Apple denies all of the allegations made in the lawsuit and denies that Apple did anything improper or unlawful." Apple agreed to pay $250 million into a settlement fund. No court has found that Apple broke the law.

• iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
• Every iPhone 16 model: iPhone 16, 16e, 16 Plus, 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max.

The official website adds three conditions. You must be the original purchaser of the device. You must live in the United States and have bought the device in the United States between June 10, 2024 and March 29, 2025. And the purchase must be for personal or business use, not for resale.

A phone on the list is not enough by itself. The dates page says the claim form asks for your current contact details and for you to confirm:

• That you bought an eligible device and expected certain Siri Apple Intelligence features on it at the time, which you did not receive.
• That you bought it in the United States between June 10, 2024 and March 29, 2025.
• Information sufficient to confirm your purchase of the device.

Confirm only what is true for you. If you have more than one eligible device, follow the administrator's instructions for each.

No. The official website says a valid claim receives "a payment of $25 per Eligible Device which may be increased pro rata, up to a maximum of $95 per Eligible Device, or decreased pro rata depending on the total number of valid claims submitted and other factors." So $95 is the ceiling, not the expected amount, and the figure can also fall below $25. CaseHelp does not estimate what anyone will receive.

The court gave preliminary approval on July 17, 2026, and claims opened on September 21, 2026. The hearing is where the court decides whether the settlement is fair; it is not a payment date, and no payment date has been set.

• Find your purchase details: the model, the day you bought it and where.
• Read the notice on the official settlement website, then file there before December 21, 2026. Find that website through your notice or the court's records; our guide on how to verify a settlement notice shows how.
• Save the confirmation you receive. For the general steps, see how to file a settlement claim.
